Supreme Court allows end to Venezuelan TPS protections
On Oct. 3, 2025 the U.S. Supreme Court issued an unsigned emergency order allowing the Trump administration to suspend a lower‑court injunction and proceed with terminating Temporary Protected Status for more than 300,000 Venezuelan migrants. The order stays a federal judge Edward Chen’s ruling that had blocked DHS’s decision; Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented and the administration’s Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued lower courts were disregarding the Court’s prior emergency action from May.
